I will be watching it on the iPlayer this week some time, looking forward to it.
Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
teach a man to fish and he'll sit round on a boat all day drinking beer.

Could not agree more. It was a superb program and was astounded by the engineering feat of lifting her up

I know someone who's working on restoring her (re-rigging her mainly), a major feat of engineering and patience from what I can gather.
She'll be just as beautiful as she once was, I'm sure.
